Natural legal doctrine and theory of public contract – unity of two concepts.
// Law and Politics.

URL: https://en.nbpublish.com/library_read_article.php?id=49688
Abstract:
Differentiation between the natural legal doctrine and the theory of public contract has always been a part of Russian scientific tradition. The basis for differentiation has always been seen in the very subjects of these theories. It was considered that while the natural legal doctrine is centered upon inalienable birthrights of any individual, the theory of public contract deals with conditions and process of formation of state. However,the author of this article considers that these two concepts are closely interrelated and their relation forms the very basis for a single concept. In this article I.I. Tsarkov provides reasoning for his position, reviews a number of misunderstandings and illusions related to both the natural legal doctrine and the theory of public contract.

Abstract:
This article is devoted to the problem of finding field-related criteria for classification of legal responsibility.

Abstract:
Foreign companies, which come to the Russian market, often prefer distribution contracts. Such a choice causes certain difficulties for their Russian partners, since Russian civil legislation does not specifically provide for this type of economical relations. Nevertheless, this type of contractual relations is actively used not only in the international trade, but also in domestic Russian trade. What are the key differences, if there are any, between distribution contract and “legitimate” contract? Are the advantages obvious?

Today it is impossible to imagine, say, the Civil Code of the Russian Federation, where one would not find a definition of legal person, or the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation without the definition of theft. And the tendency in the modern Russian legislation is for more and more definitions, since the legislator strives to provide exact meanings for as many legal terms as possible. In this article M.V. Chinnova discusses the history of definitions in the Russian legislation from the times of Peter the Great to our days.

Authors of this article allow us to take a look at the “land issue” through the prism of the past, to see both historical and legal aspects of the reforms.
